Remember that CSUF professor who was accused of assaulting a student during a heated political argument in February? He actually managed to get himself fired over the incident… no small feat for a government employee. Surely the school’s careful and expensive termination of Eric Canin would stick, particularly after multiple investigations confirmed that he did […]
Education Uber Alles
A March for Science, Road Closures and the ACLU
On Saturday the city will shut down several public streets for an event called the “March for Science.” It’s the local version of a nationwide protest of federal budget cuts to scientific research. While the event organizers claim that it is non-partisan, critics say its the nerdy version of yet another anti-Trump protest. Naturally the city bureaucrats were […]
College Town – Still Not Ready for Prime Time
It’s back! Thanks to our tireless activist Joshua Ferguson, who snapped this picture up during a recent visit to City Hall this morning: College Town originally came up before the Planning Commission on February 10, 2016. Opposition was so strong to the plan the opposition’s “Our Town Not College Town” signs started springing up […]
CSUF Republicans allege professor-on-student assault at Trump protest
Members of the Cal State Fullerton GOP club say that an anthropology professor physically attacked students yesterday during an on-campus clash with anti-Trump protestors. The Register and Breitbart have the stories. It’s too early to tell if any of this is true. But that doesn’t mean we can’t tell you what will happen next. CSUF […]
Fullerton in the News: Pervs and Violence
There’s been flurry of news stories about Fullerton in the last 48 hours. Here’s a quick list: Troy Students arrested for alleged school shooting plot. Two Fullerton high school students were arrested for allegedly plotting a school shooting that they were overheard describing as “bigger than Columbine,” police said. ABC 7 Story 2 Female Students Sexually […]
The Sherbeck Stadium Swindle
Fullerton College is going to ruin the nearby neighborhoods when they build the boondoggle that will be Sherbeck Stadium and they are going to use the fact that you residents didn’t yell at them as the very reason for building an unnecessary Stadium when there is already a High School stadium literally within walking distance […]
The Sound of Silence
Not much has come out of Fullerton Junior College lately on the case of cop-turned-security guard Dino Skokos who handed out an unwarranted beat down on an undernourished FJC student in October. A writer for The Hornet named Madalyn Amato, reports that although an “independent investigator” has been engaged, nothing else has been forthcoming. The fact that the […]
Do Not Trust the Trustees
On Thursday, November 17, the North Orange County Community College District held an the Environmental Impact Report scoping session for the Measure J funded improvements to Fullerton College. As you know from our previous report on this matter, the proposed improvements include a football field (estimated during the presentation to cost $4 million to build, […]
Don’t Kneel to Fullerton College’s Football Stadium Demands
So who’s up for a proposed construction project that could “substantially degrade the existing visual character or quality of the site and its surroundings” and could “create a new source of substantial light or glare would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the area” according to the Environmental Impact Report? Doesn’t sound appealing? Well, […]
Molly’s Problem
Could be trouble’s a-brewin’ for our old acquaintance, North OC Community College District trustee Molly McClanahan. Now, in case you’re not familiar with the life and times of McClanahan, here’s a primer: rightfully recalled from the Fullerton City Council in 1994 for imposing a stupid and unnecessary utility tax (at the behest of the […]
CSUF Giving Up on “University Heights” Fiasco?
A few years ago Cal State Fullerton decided to get into the housing business for its employees. Why public employees should get any sort of preferential treatment for housing is beyond me, but that’s the society in which we live. Anyway, the whole thing turned out to be a massive disaster, but not an embarrassment, […]
Troy ASB Election Rigged: Whistleblower Takes Fall
A recent Register feature story “ASB Election Rigged” raises a lot of troubling questions. Bottom Line: The advisor who rigged this year’s ASB election (and possibly those of earlier years—no way to know) remains on staff. The student who proved the wrongdoing—Jacob Bigham–was suspended, stripped of the Vice Presidency he legitimately won and banned from […]
Beechwood Teacher Beats Rap. So Far.
Remember that strange episode up at Beechwood School a couple of months ago when parents were called in for a really scary meeting and not really told anything? Some teacher did something. Somewhere. Somehow. FSD Superintendent Mitch Hovey was just double-talking hard. Now the OC Register is reporting that the still unnamed teacher’s offense – […]
Fullerton High Vice Principal Shuttled Off Campus
The OC Register is reporting that FUHS Vice Principal Joe Abell has been removed from campus and is cooling his heels at District HQ, presumably until the furor dies down about his yanking a student off stage at a school-sponsored “Mr. Fullerton” contest. Apparently the boy, Kearian Giertz, 17, wandered off the FUHS Indian reservation and […]
Gay Kid Hauled Off Stage at FHS
According to Tracy Woods of the Voice of OC(EA), here, a bit of a dust up is occurring at Fullerton High School over a student constestant who was yanked offstage during something called a “Mr. Fullerton” competition by Assistant Principal, Joe Abell. The kid’s offense? Apparently he told the audience that he hoped he could […]
What Happened at Beechwood School?
An emergency parent meeting was called at Beechwood school last night to explain that a teacher had been placed on administrative leave and that the police department was conducting an investigation into…well, something they’re not allowed to tell us about. The Chief was adamant that there was no evidence that a crime was committed or […]
Doc Scissorshand
Here’s a fun image captured by the journalists at Fullerton Stories: While only a few hundred yards away outraged citizens were protesting the police-bludgeoning death of Kelly Thomas, Fullerton’s liberal and repuglican elite were feting themselves at the opening of the new library wing. Friends, you are invited to provide your ideas for a picture […]
Fullerton College’s New Building Dun Goofed
When this blog kicked off several years ago, one of the first subjects of our discontent was the fake McSpanish horrors being constructed at Fullerton College. Well, the buildings are complete and FJC students are submitting their feedback…and boy are things looking ugly. Here’s a hilarious clip of some dudes highlighting a few of the […]

Looks like John and Ken got an earful.
FSD Trustee on the Air
Here is the Fullerton’s own Chris Thompson in rare form on the only local radio show in the United States with more than one million daily listeners:
